Be the Change: Run for Mental Health
Be the Change: Run for Mental Health takes place on September 19, 2026 in Snake Hill, Sundre, AB. The event is a community fundraiser whose proceeds for 2026 will go to Burden Bearers Counselling and The Den SYC. It is described as family friendly and intended to raise funds and awareness for local mental health and youth services.
Participants can choose between multiple distances:
- ~3K adult run
- 6K adult run
- Kids Mini Run
Entry includes a positive affirmation bracelet and a branded buff. There is an optional foam pit near the finish line. Post‑run water and refreshments are provided. Registration is completed digitally and requires a waiver. The published fees are $40 for adults and $25 for kids, and the event lists a 200 runner goal.
The event materials state that proceeds will fund counselling services and support youth in the Sundre area, and that the activity aims to help break stigma and build community connections. The organiser also notes other ways to participate beyond running, including volunteering, donating directly to the beneficiary organizations, or attending to cheer. Registered participants will receive further information by email about event logistics, route maps, and race package pickup. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
